About this property
The Gallery Apartment in Damariscotta, Maine, for stays of 3 or more nights
The Gallery apartment is a delightful spot for a couple, one, two or three travelers who wish to stay for 3 or more nights. Spacious, bright, and airy, the apartment is above our home and my studio/gallery. Cleaned and sanitized to high standards including a high intensity UV lamp to kill germs.The apartment is separate and includes its own entrance to ensure your privacy and convenience. It has just recently been renovated to ensure your comfort.
The apartment is accessed by an outside stairway. The living room is spacious and provides ample seating, as well as areas to work. Windows overlook our wooded backyard. You may also spy birds at the feeder below. Internet access and a TV with cable are provided. A small refrigerator, toaster, a toaster oven, tea kettle, keurig coffee pot and microwave are included for guest use. There is a tub/ shower combination in the private bathroom.
Wifi password will be provided upon check in. The entire apartment, seating areas in the yard and outside my studio are available to guests. My Studio Gallery is open in the afternoons and guests are welcome to visit and watch me paint. I am a watercolor artist and love to paint our beautiful coastal landscapes and villages. Examples of my prints can be seen in the apartment.
The apartment is located in a central location in the town of Damariscotta. Within 15 minutes is the beautiful coastal Pemaquid Peninsula with the famous Pemaquid Lighthouse, Pemaquid Beach and the fishing village of New Harbor. 30 minutes away from our town of Damariscotta will bring you to the Boothbay Harbor Region, including the delightful Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. Brunswick, Rockland and Camden are only 40 minutes from us, so there many opportunities for day or afternoon adventures.
My husband, Mike, and I love sharing the joys of Midcoast Maine with our guests! We are happy to offer suggestions (when requested!) for local activities, restaurants, and day trips. If guests would like to chat with me personally, I can be found working in my Studio Gallery or in the gardens most afternoons. If assistance is needed at any time we can be reached by phone. However, for guests who value privacy and quiet, the Gallery Apartment is perfect- you can come and go as though you were in your own home. You need not encounter us unless you wish to!
Most days and nights the cool Maine air will keep the apartment comfortable without the use of the air conditioner, but the visitors should feel free to use the one provided if needed.
The television has Spectrum cable hook up. Directions for TV and air conditioner are located near them.

About the host
Hosted by Kathleen and Mike Horst
I am a retired high school teacher and my husband is a retired Medical School Biochemistry Professor. We have lived in Maine about 8 years full time. I am now a watercolor artist and he continues to do research at the UMaine Marine Lab near here.
My gallery is located below the house and is open for our guests to visit. We love sharing our knowledge about Maine with our guests.

Why they chose this property
This location was selected for the close proximity to town and for the ability to transform it into a gallery for my watercolor studio, an apartment and a winter home.
What makes this property unique
The apartment is very close to downtown Damariscotta and is convenient to spend several nights when traveling between Portland and Bar Harbor. It is cleaned to the highest standards to ensure the safety of our guests. It is unique because it has an air conditioner to cool off with when the weather warms up and a queen size bed for extra comfort. Both are very unusual in our area. The apartment has a twin bed in the living area to accommodate 2 people who wish to sleep in separate beds or a third person. TV with cable and dependable internet service are included. The kitchenette provides a microwave, mini frig, toaster, toaster oven, tea kettle and a Keurig coffee maker. Coffee and tea ingredients are provided.
A separate entry provides complete privacy and there is plenty of parking space. Outdoor seating areas in the side yard and in front of the Gallery can be used by guests.
